nice idea.  you should add the [Reference] tag at the begining of the post title So its easily known its a reference post.  makes it easier on forums

[JohnnyNorCal]

Kinda makes me wonder why they don't just add a widget to have the 4J twitter feed right on the main Minecraft 360 forum. I am a forum owner myself and I do this. It gives everyone a chance to see the main updates and makes it blatantly obvious.

They could add something that could reach out of a computer, slap someone in the face, tell them the info from 4J, and people still wouldn't know.

You'd still have tons of topics being posted about "when is this" or "Why didn't they do that".

Good to know they are adding sprint and not just gonna abandon the idea...

Weird, I thought I read that skin packs were gonna be 240msp

You did, and it was a mistake. PlayXBLA got it wrong the fist time. Now it's been officially confirmed that they are 160 msp.

PlayXBLA originally started that rumor by accident when they confused the Minecraft dashboard stone theme with the skins pack. They corrected themselves later.

[Friggin_Aaron]

I had 180msp. Because i read that it'd be 240, i went out and bought 1600.
Son of a ditch.
Well I guess I'll just get Dawnguard now.

I loved Dawnguard.... Though I liked the vampire hunters quest line better than the vampire lords.
